This struck me as having potential as a weird retro Holmes adventure basis. Dig the owls as well. Hmm, wonder what's going on?

This looks like an interesting D&D encounter. Especially all the judging owls in the background.

ReplyDeleteScott wins the scholar point. I always loved this image but never tracked it down. Dore also drew a great mantacore for Danes Inferno.
ReplyDeleteNow go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
ReplyDeleteLove Dore, hadn't seen this one before, so thank you Scott Mob. I think I first became aware of his name via an issue of Dragon mag in the mid 80s.
ReplyDeleteDante's Inferno I meant.
ReplyDeleteZach H same. It was the issue with the wizard's college for me. I've used a ton of his stuff in my (will it ever be published?) homebrew.
ReplyDeleteI don't think those are owls.... Pokemon, maybe?
ReplyDeleteLoL, Go Gengar !
